Man murders wife, disabled son; surrenders to police - BANGALORE

A man killed his wife and five-year-old physically-challenged
son by slitting their throat at his house in Rajajinagar, on Monday
afternoon. Rushing to Rajajinagar Police Station, Kumar
Nayak, 30, a dressmaker at Bhashyam Circle, confessed he had murdered
his wife Manjula Bai, 26, suspecting her fidelity, and their son
Harshith, 5.

Fortuitously, his three-year-old son, Chandan, was
away at a family friend’s house, when Kumar, in a sudden rush of blood
and pique, committed the heinous crime.

The police have arrested Nayak. A resident of
Rajajinagar IV Block, 10th Main, Rama Mandir Road, and native of
Hunasikoppa, in Magadi taluk, he had married Manjula Bai seven years
ago, after a brief courtship.

Thereafter, the couple had moved to Bangalore five years ago, police said.

The
couple had frequent tiffs lately over Manjula’s fidelity. On Monday,
returning home around 3.30 pm, Kumar attacked his wife with a dagger who
collapsed due to bleeding profusely. Later, he slit Harshith’s throat
repeatedly.

He told police inspector N Ramesh that since his wife continued her affair despite several warnings, he decided to murder her.

Stating
that it would have been difficult for his physically challenged son to
fend for himself, he said, he had murdered him as well, since he did not
want him to suffer in the absence of a caretaker. Harshith had lost
both his legs due to a disease.

The police inspector rushed to
Kumar’s house and was shocked to see the bodies lying in a pool of
blood. Later, he arrested Kumar.
